My question would be: Can hardtails be used for tricking a bit? Should I just buy a Dirt Jump bike or BMX instead? What Hardtail would you recommend under 1000 Euros? Thanks a lot in advance if you answer this..I would appreciate it. Dziekuje bardzo? 😀

I would look for a second hand bike. You can get much better bikes for the same money. Lots of people buy bikes with good intentions to go ride often but stop using them after a couple of rides. Good video tho!

I need your opinion. I'm looking to upgrade my 29er hardtail mountain bike with 2.10 tires and what i had in mind was adding drop bars to it, I've seen a few mtb's with drop bars and they look SICK. I was thinking about buying drop fork and keeping my shimano xt shifters just adding road bike brake levers, and then tape it of course. So can you guys tell me what you think about doing this?

BMC makes a sport elite with sr suntour shock(i upgraded them to rockshox) continental race king tires hydrualic disc brakes(by shimano) and the rest of the components like drive train is shimano alivio

I have a Scott Aspect 940 29er. It's a great bike and I paid £450.00 for it. For the money I got beautifully designed green, black and white aluminium Scott frame, 29 inch wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, a suntour XCM front suspension fork, shimano altus shifters, and a 9 speed shimano alivio rear deraileur. Scott have made this bike look like it's high end bikes. The design of the frame and green, black and white paintwork have made the bike look like a carbon frame design. I like the welding where the bottom tube meets the top tube near the handlebars….older entry level bikes did not have any welding here just a curved design. Scott make great entry level budget bikes that can be used for leisure riding or as transport to get to work. I use my Scott mountain bike for both journey to work and leisure riding. I take care of it and clean it so the components do not wear out quickly because the components are only beginner. Great bike for £450.00

Coil spring is a bad choice, because for heavier rider, will have to buy a new spring, because the springs that come stock are pretty soft, and are for kids or adults with almost no muscles. the green Kona and the Jamis has Shimano brakes that are too flexible and will leak when braking hard.

The the cheap Sr suntour forks have useless seals, that wear out in matter of weeks, the forks are too flexible, and nessesary adjustment for a stable ride.

The Shimano resin only rotors are useless, if you use metal pads it takes 4 weeks to wear them out, unless you sue resin pads, which wear out 4 weaks, So semi metallic or metallic/sintered are the best choice.

Hey dude, I love your videos. And hopefully you could assist me with some advice? I bought a Trek Marlin 7 and 6. One for myself and one for my wife. Unfortunately we don't get much option when it comes to cheap mountain bikes and international brands here in SA. So my question to you: What would you change on the Marlin 7 first? And what would you add to the bike if you had choice? My main focus on this bike has been about 40% enduro and 60% downhill. I'm also sticking to platform pedals for now. Please let me know your thoughts if possible. Again, big fan! Love your videos.

Why do people always skip GT? Their Pantera line of bikes are great. I have the 2017 Pantera Comp 27.5 PLUS..great bike and has options found on more expensive bikes..ALSO Raleigh Tokul 2 and 3 are great bikes..broaden your views people..

My diamondback myers 2.0(2016 model) was 3000zl, about 710 euros, with a sektor solo air 140mm travel fork, 1x11sp with sram GX cassette 10-42T, shifter and derailleur, and hydraulic avid disk brakes. I think that was a pretty good deal…

Vitus Nucleus or Diamondback Hook/Overdrive are on the higher end off this budget but thei offer way better components and the geometrie and are better suited for trail/all-mountain riding. A real trail bike like one of these will give a beginner a lot more confidence than a cheap xc bike.
